The Parthenon Walking Tour was incredible. I loved that we had a small group. Alexia, our tour guide, was incredible. She was extremely knowledgeable and friendly. She knew the answers to all questions that were asked and provided recommendations on where to eat and visit as well.
I would highly suggest this tour. We did the morning tour before it got too hot, so I would suggest going earlier. Also, if you go in the summer expect crowds. However, Alexia did her best for us to avoid the crowds and stay in the shade as much as possible.
